VANITY oasn.

Application filed my 1, 1192 5. Serial No. 21.149.

My invention relates to a new and improved vanity case.

One of the'objects of my invention is to statement of the objects of myinvention is intended only to generally explain the same and not tolimit it in any manner.

Fig. l'is a top view showing the case open.

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section showing the case partially open.

Fig. 3 is a side elevatlon showing the case in the closed position.

Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view.

The vanity case'comprises two like body members 1 and 2 made of anysuitable metal and connected by a. hinge 3. The hollow body member 1 hasa rin otherwise suitably connecte to the top of the concave portionthereof. As shown in Fig. 4, this ring, which ma he called a 'retainingring,is provided with a shouldered portion S which is adapted to beengaged by a cover member 5 connected to the ring 7 by means of a secondor cover hinge 4.

As shown in Fi 2, when the cover 5 is in'the closed position, it fitstightly against,

the shoulder S and its contour conforms to the contour of the top of theretaining ring 7 so that the said cover 5 acts as a valve to tightlyclose the opening in the retaining ring 7. Since the retaining ring 7 issoldered or otherwise connected. to. the body member 1- so as to providea tight joint, the

leakage of the loose powder from the com-' partment provided therefor inthe body member 1 is minimized. The cover member .may be provided with asli 7 soldered oriecured. The cover member 5 ispreierably made of aresilient sheet or piece of metal polished on both sides so that" itserves as a mirror when it is in the open and in the closed position. Itisprovided with'a linger piece 6 by means of which it canbe readilyopened. If desired, the said cover member 5 htly projecting portionwhich will engage the inner peripheryof the retaining ring 7 so as tofrictiona1 y hold the cover member 5 in closed position and to enablethe cover member 5 to be easily opened.

By this improved construction a tightly closed compartment is providedfor the loose powder by means of a cover member which also acts as amirror in the open and closed positions of the cover member.

A powder puff P may be held within the loose powder compartment, asillustrated in Fig. 2.

I have shown apreferred embodiment of my invention, but it is clear thatnumerous changes and omissions could be made without departing from itsspirit.

I claim A vanity case comprising two body members connected by means ofa hinge, one of said body members having a hollow portion adapted tocontain loose powder, the last mentioned body member having a retainingring soldered thereto, the top of said retainmg ring projecting abovethe hollow portion of said body member, said retaining ring, having aninner annular shoulder, the sai retaining ring having a cover membercover member having a periphery having a contour similar to the contourof said shoulder, the periphery of said cover member being adapted tofit frictionall'y within said inner shoulder.

connected thereto by means of a hinge, said In testimony whereof I ailixmy signature.

WILLIAM G. KENDALL.
